I have been trying to determine the best way to get to Cinque Terre and maximize my visit of the area.

We are on the Grand Princess arriving at Liverno on May 4, 2008 with a scheduled port arrival of 630 am and leaving port at 6 pm that day.

I'm not sure if Princess will be offering a shore excursion to Cinque Terre on this cruise. But I was trying to determine which options would be better: going on our own or trying to find a private tour.
